you need around 300 gallons minimum for one of them, my local aquarium has a fully grown one, its very big trust me.

you can buy those automatic feeders (there machines, not those little chalky blocks that are meant to last for a few days) they cost around 25 dollars each, you can fit around 2-4 weeks food in there but for a fish that big you might need quite a few of those machines....
